Hard Firewall, personal firewall, proxy, blacklist. AV is a given, except for Xycron, who's swimming through the swamp nekkid.

Over 6 months and im fine, still only 15 processes at start up, lesss then 90mb of ram at idel, still runs fast, no virus no spyware, nothing stolen, no crashes, everything has been fine.

Well techncially I have ahd to reinstall window's twice, but that was because of motherboard/cpu changes, and not from viruses and such.

Firefox, plus Norton on stock settings... not much of virus freak since I dont open stupid e-mails or download retarded things which are obviously viruses.

Antivirus: ClamAV (AVG on windows)
Firewall: iptables (Zonealarm on windows) and router (With built in firewall)
Proxy: Tor
IDS: Snort

Ehh, I don't consider myself paranoid. I just believe in being as secure as I can be :D .

Heh, I must've missed this thread, or I wasn't registered at the time when it was made. I read the first couple of posts... Praetor, where are you nowadays? Why aren't I seeing much of you? :)

Anyway, I voted for Antivirus? Firewall? Huh?. I do have AVG installed, but I don't run it, unless I suspect I'm infected with something.

EDIT: Oh, and also, on my Mac I don't need any :p
